What is the equality club?
The equality club is a voluntary, student-led club where we discuss issues of inequality in our society and campaign to raise awareness and take meaningful action on equality issues. It’s open for students from 1st year to 6th year.
The club meets once a week during lunch time.
Teacher coordinator - S. Bradshaw
Student Coordinator - Niamh Tighe
Campaigns Officer - Eunice Olusanya
What we do
We engage in open discussions on different topics and organise events in the school. The topics and events are suggested and planned by the students. Recently our topics have been on hidden disabilities, peace and justice and how the school could be more inclusive. Everyone is able to speak and we take pride in making sure that everyone has their voice heard.
Organised actions and events
We have organised different events within the school. Some of these have included:
- Stand Up Awareness Week
- Fairtrade Breakfast
- International Women’s Day
- Amnesty’s Write for Rights campaign
- Creation of a Peace Wall
Achievements
We recently received the Good Practice for Student Capacity award from WorldWise Global Schools for our work on global citizenship education (GCE).
